Forwarding local mail to external mail account?

[Matthias Brennwald]

Dear all

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04, with exim4 and mutt installed. I can
sucessfully send, receive and read local mail on this machine. I tried to
forward the mail from my local account to my external mail address, where I
regularly read my mail. I did this by creating a .forward file in my home
directory and put in my regular (external) mail address. However, I the
messages never find their way to my external mailbox. Any hints or ideas?
How can I check what's going on? Do I need to (re)configure exim4? How?

Matthias
